>>I agree. It is not possible to determine if it is accurate or not at this state. So far I have seen statisticians and scholars disagreeing. They found something, but what it is has not been adequately determined yet. Still, I think the show should be watched, then academic viewpoints weighed, and then debated before any conclusions are drawn.

>They claimed to have DNA evidence. Compared to what. Am I to believe that somebody (the Vatican maybe) had Jesus' DNA lying around all this time in secret and brought it out for these guys to compare with? I can't watch it because I don't get the Discovery channel, but I'm willing to bet that it's going to end up being full of the kind of science that Erich von Daniken used. Start with an theory you'd like to be true, and then build on it to the point where nobody remembers to check the original premise. In the end it all sounds plausible, but is in reality, a castle built on sand.


They would have to get a DNA sample from the "Holy" spirit as well... err... to cover all bases. :-)
